The divorce between actor Kevin Costner and his wife Christine Baumgartner continued to make headlines when the 68-year-old’s salary for “Yellowstone” was revealed.
As The Blast previously reported, Christine denied that she pressured the father of three to quit his role in the critically acclaimed drama, which premiered in 2018. “Yellowstone” tells the story of the Dutton family, in which Costner plays the patriarch of the Dutton race, John Dutton. The series has proven so successful that it spawned several spin-offs, including “1923,” starring Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren.

“Yellow Stone” has a total of five seasons. According to court documents obtained by The Blast, the “Waterworld” actress was paid $11,000,000 for the fourth season, which amounts to $1,100,000 per episode. That amount increased to $10,000,000 for season 5, or $1,250,000 per episode.
Just last year, Kevin announced that he is continuing a project called “Horizon” which will consist of four different films scheduled to be released in a short period of time. According to court documents, he spent so much time filming the first two installments of “Horizon” that he didn’t have much time left to film “Yellowstone.”
Kevin also made a huge amount of “Horizon.” He acted, produced, and directed each installment. He was compensated approximately $12,000,000 for each installment, totaling approximately $24,000,000; however, he voluntarily deferred the large amount, believing that the money would “fall” back to him late next year.

Based on calendar years 2021 and 2022, Kevin’s cash flow is estimated to be at least $1,600,000 per month. He is also said to have at least $17,000,000 in cash stashed away in his personal accounts. Kevin still makes a percentage of the profits from “Yellowstone,” which counts as a current and ongoing source of compensation for him.
“Yellowstone” fans will be disappointed to hear that Kevin refused to answer questions about whether he was offered the chance to star in season 6 or if he chose to quit the show, but Christine has claimed that she “didn’t pressure” the actor. to stop the show.

As The Blast previously reported, Christine has insisted that she never forced the actor to quit his role on the award-winning show. In court documents obtained by The Blast in early June, he wrote, “I have avoided going public about the reasons for our divorce. I have done this to protect our family’s privacy. I’m not pushing Kevin to leave the Yellowstone show.”
Fans were upset to see Kevin leave the show and they weren’t alone. In June 2023, series creator Taylor Sheridan told The Hollywood Reporter that he was “disappointed” by the actor’s decision to leave the show. “I’m disappointed,” Taylor said at the time, adding, “It cut off the closure of his character. It didn’t change him, but it cut him off.”

Some fans have speculated that the conflict between Taylor and Kevin caused the “Dances With Wolves” actress to quit the series. However, Taylor insists that is not the case. “I never had a problem with Kevin that he and I couldn’t work out over the phone,” she said. “But when lawyers get involved, then people can’t talk to each other and start saying things that aren’t true and try to shift blame based on how the press or the public seems to react.”
“He takes a lot of this on the chin and I don’t know that anyone deserves it,” he continued before talking about a possible spin-off series starring Matthew McConaughey. Taylor called the Texas-born actor a “natural fit” for the role, adding, “We’ve had a few conversations over the years, and spit out some ideas. Then he started watching Yellowstone and responded. He was like, ‘I want to do that .’ And by ‘that’ he meant diving into the raw world that collided with the modern world. And then I said, ‘Buddy, we can do that.'”

Meanwhile, it looks like Kevin Costner will still be spending a lot of time outdoors, even if he’s not returning to “Yellowstone.” According to court documents obtained by The Blast, the “The Bodyguard” actor has a 160-acre farm in Aspen, Colorado, located about ten minutes from downtown Aspen.
The family vacations there frequently during the spring and winter, as the area includes two large lakes and trails for several ATVs and snowmobiles through undeveloped national forest. Apparently the family rented the area when they were out of town; the average rent charged to third parties in 2021 and 2022 for Aspen estate is $42,566 per night.
